The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) accused Iran of launching missiles at the country on June 7.

“Sirens were sounded in several areas across the country following the identification of missiles launched from Iran toward Israel,” the IDF wrote in a post on X.

Defense systems were used to intercept the threat, the IDF added.

The attack received a swift response from Itamar Ben-Gvir, Israel’s minister of National Security.

“Tonight Tehran must burn!” Ben-Gvir exclaimed in an X post on Sunday.

Sunday’s attack was the first time the regime targeted Israel since a tentative ceasefire took effect in early April.

President Donald Trump told Fox News Channel that the latest act of aggression was “certainly not going to help negotiations.”

"What I would suggest to Iran: You've shot your missiles, that's enough, get back to the table and make a deal,” Trump told Fox News Channel’s Trey Yingst on Sunday.

Ebrahim Azizi, the head of the national security commission of the Iranian parliament, defended Sunday’s missile attacks launched on Israel.

“The violation of the ceasefire by the U.S. in the Persian Gulf and the crimes of the Zionist regime against Palestine and Lebanon show that you only understand the language of power and force,” Azizi wrote. “Therefore, the Resistance Front will also speak to you in the same language.”

Earlier in the day, Israel struck neighborhoods in Beirut, marking the first time Israel targeted Lebanon's capital city since the U.S. announced a ceasefire deal between Israel and Lebanon last week.

“The two sides agreed with the guidance of the United States to swiftly advance the creation of pilot zones in which the Lebanese Armed Forces will take exclusive control of the territory to the exclusion of all non-state actors,” according to a joint statement regarding the ceasefire that was released on June 3.

The countries were scheduled to hold additional talks to reach a lasting deal on the week of June 22.

However, Hezbollah did not agree to the deal.

Israel also led airstrikes in southern Lebanon on Saturday, killing nine people including three members of the Lebanese military.

Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun condemned the strikes, calling it a “flagrant violation” of the country's sovereignty and international law.
